Society seemed to b under tbs spall of
the wtather last waek. for praotlcally
nothing u dan, and th outlook for th
tvmlng week la almost the same. Cold
ralna, sleet, snow, f reeling weatiier and
all that sort of thing at tha time when
buds should ba bursting Into bloom, when
nature ' should ba putting on her fairest
garb, when birds should ba carolling their
aweatest lore songs, and when mankind
should feel tha uplift of a new birth. Isn't
Just tha sort of thing to Inspire people to
i ba gar and marry, and It would be funny
If tha depression that prevailed in all other
directions hadn't extended to society. The
weather aboared signs of batter behavior
at tha and of tha week, and the hope of
days whan folks can gat out and go about
sprung up anew, but not sufficiently vigor
ous to start any plana tar sa active cam
paign. One thing that Is scheduled for ths com
ing week with which the state of weather
will have a great deal to do la the formal
opening for tha season of tha Country club.
If next Saturday Is bright and fair the
lawn and groans will ba tha soene of much
gaiety; if It should be anything like the
other Saturdays of April the fireplaces will
blase and tha wax lights splutter, and the
fun will all be had inside the house. But
ths formal opening will not be postponed
on account of a rainstorm or any little
thing Ilka that. The house committee and
the greens oommittee have been active
during the winter months and promise to
give those who have not been In attendance
at the club grounds some very pleasant
surprises in tha nature of the alterations
and improvements made. Tha links will
ba bettor than ever, and tha royal game
of golf will get such a push along as it
has not had slnoe tha establishment of the
club. Social folks will find mora than ever
provided for their comfort, and tha gaiety
at the Country club la expected to ba be
yond that ever expsrlenoed there.
One week from Saturday the Field club
-open for the season, and there, too, the
Improvements have been made for tha
' Vcneflt of those who take their fun out In
the open and for those who prefer the
veranda, the dancing floor and tha dining
room.
One of tha young matrons of tha olty
caused a little merriment by bar enthusi
asm at the Monday evening performance
of the Rogers brothers' company at tha
Boyd. A bnlladlst wss singing ona of his
songs, and had his eyas rolled up in tha
classic manner of the ballad singer, when
tha matron aforesaid called out from one
box to another, "Doesn't ha look Just like
Dick 7" Now, It doesn't transpire what
Dick thinks of tha comparison, but those
who heard the remark enjoyed it as much
as they did anything else on tha program.
A movement heuded by Mr. August
Mothe-Borglum and seconded by Mrs. W.
W. Turner Is on foot for tha engagement
of a number of prominent musical artists
for the season of 1904-6 In Omaha. It Is
their aim to seoure 200 signers, each of

Learned. Miss Anna Bishop, Mrs. W. W.
Turner, Miss Corlnne Paulson, Mrs. Sheets,

and the movement has grown out of a de
. mand for more good artists. It is esti
mated that at Wast five or six of tha best
artists can ba secured during tha season
for this sum. Names may ba sent to any
of tha above.

THOMAS MAKESA STATEMENT
Attorney for ke Clvlo Leasne Takes
Exception to tho Interview of
Chief of Polloe Donahae,
OMAHA. April a To tha Editor of The
Bee: Wilt you permit ma to make soma
observations upon an article appearing on
the first column of Thursday evening's pa
per, entitled, "Indictment of DennlsonT"
The whole article is an apology for Tom
Dennlson: an editorial ttinurine in h
same paper contains a left-handed criti
cism or tha Clvlo Federation for its part In
this prosecution. The news article and the
editorial nave a tendency to give your
readers the Idea that tha grand Jury which
indicted Dennlson Is wrong and that Den
nlson is in tha right.
Can -you afford to tak the nnaitinn be
fore this community an the innimrfat v
Tom DennlsonT Don't vou think It wrmM
be better to leave that office In the able
nanas of Chief DonohueT
It 1 stated In this artlnla that T m
ployed by McDonald and Molse to further
mis prosecution, and that the Civic league
has nothing to do with It. I have scarcely
been upon speaking terms with Molse for
six years and neither he , nor McDonald
ever employed me for any service.
The attitude of the chief nf nnilc
astound all right-thinking cltlsens; he has
given a long interview to your paper de
fending a man who has bean lndlc-tad tnr
highway robbery in another stats. No mat-
ler wnat nil sympathies mar be, one would
think that hlS sense of nrnnriefv an1 Am.
cency would at least have kept him silent
It is beyond comprehension that ths chief
of police, who la -by law tha chief minis
terial oncer of this city, should feel It hie
duty to rush Into print to defend this man,
na that too. In tha aame column with
Deonison's Interview. In which the heat h
claims for himself Is, that ha never ran a
aure-tning gambling game. Dennlson Is
olalmed to have known Bhercllrre from boy.
hood; that ha had a friendly acquaintance
with Sheroliffe; that he Interested himself
to secure a parole of SherclllTe'a sentence
and that ha took him to his own home in
Omaha and kept him there for several
wumos.
The chief say that ha understands thut
Dennlson was instrumental In getting Sher-
ci'.ira out cf ths pcr.itsr.Uary; knows that
he ethvel at D"ntson's house and later
robbed It. The chief also savs: "This man
Shercliffe used to be one of the hardest
cnaracters of the west and has a long rec-
ora pr tha moat daring and desperate of
Crimea." Now, if the ohlef knows that
Sheroliffe Is so bad a man and also knows
that h was a lons-tlm afauaintann anil
associate of Dennlson, would It not be
natural for the chief to Infer that Dennl
son was ths same kind of man with Sher
cliffe? The xhlef 1 also o not ad aa aavtn that
he will have Shercllffe'a record here In a
few days from the Plnkertona. Whr ir.aa
tha ohlef want Sherrllffe'e record T Is ha
engaged In framing up a defense for Tom
DennlsonT Is he ensrased In the bualnaaa
of discrediting the state's witnesses In this
prosecution r Does na eee no impropriety
In his furnishing a defense for a man
charged with a serious crime?
I think I am In noaltlon to know aa muh
about what the Plnkertona did at the time
of the robbery and what they are dulns
now as Is the chief.
The chief says that ha was on the de
tective force when the crime waa commit
ted. If he had the same sympathy for
Dennlson then which ha appears to have
now It is no wonder that Dennlson was not
apprehended, if search depended upon htm.

CAST VOU FOR SMOOT FOR SENATOR
Hearlasr ra the BseeVtsMet Case at
Washlagrtoa Csmtlooe with
a Powers ea th
Stand.
WASHINGTON, April U-Whan th In
vestigation of tha Smoot case opened today
Judge O. W. Power was again called to
the stand. He read a petition prepared by
supporter of Mooes Thatcher for senator,
addressed to tha senate of the United
States, alleging that church Influence hsd
been used In th election and asking for sn
Investigation. Another Instance of church
Interference had been shown, said he, In a
mayoralty contest at Provo, when Reed
Smoot favored the candidacy of George
Sutherland. The wltneas said 8moot was
held In disfavor with the church and
charged with going to the liberal party.
Senator Overman asked If women were
elected to the legislature in Utah. The wit
ness answered In the affirmative and said a
woman was chairman of the Judiciary com.
ml t tee of th house in th legislature which
elected Mr. Smoot as senator,
"Did she vote for Smoot r asked Senator
Overman.
"I understand she did."
When Church Entered Politics,
Senator Dubois Judge Powers, what do
you regard the chief exhibition of church
domination of political affair that has
come to your notice?
"It occurred at tbe April 1896, conference,
when the political rule that is the man
ifesto against Mormons entering politics
without consent of church authorities was
adopted. This rule was adopted without a
dissenting vote and at the same conference
Moses Thatcher's name was dropped from
the rolls as an apostle and no explanation
of any character was made."
Senator McComas How do the young
men In the Mormon church regard th
practice of polygamy?
"I think tha young Mormon men, and
women, too, are opposed to the pa;Mce.
strongly epposed, although I confess that
I cannot understand tho power th churoh
Is able to exert over them. I believe, how
ever, that if the cliurch authorities should
attempt to re-establish polygamy, by revel
ation or otherwise, there would be trouble."
In regard to continuation of polygamous
cohabitation Judge Powers said that some
look upon this condition with tolerance and
others with open hostility.
Several senators engaged in the discus
sion of the future of polygamy, and Judge
Powers said he believed the practice could
not lost any more than could slavery. Con.
tlnulng, he said:
"But I do not regard polygamy as the
worst feature of the Mormon religion.
What I object to most Is Its un-American
domination by tho hlerarch of the peopl
of that belief; the belief In the right of th
church authorities to prescribe rules, the
belief that the head of the church Is In
spired and Interference of tha church ta
political and commercial affairs."
Senator Hopkins The same charge about
commerce can be made against other
churches In a limited way. can It not?"
"Not as I make the statement here,"
said Mr. Power. "I do not know of any
other church that conducts a bathing
beach, street railways eleotrlc light and
power plants, banks, mines and mills and
that attempts to control In local politics
for the people obtaining oonoeeslons and
franchises."
Senator Hopkins Thera is the Methodist
church In Chicago of which I am a mem
ber. It engages In burtness and I have al
ways supported that Idea.
Attorney Worthington And th Trinity
church in New York also owns and rent
property.
' But, as I understand it, Judge Power
means that the Mormon church Is a trust
and owns and controls srreat commnmiui
Institutions," said Senator McComas.
"That Is It; It Is a trust," said Judge
Power.
Senator Bailey asked Senator Hopkins
and Mr. Worthington If the Methodist
church In Chicago and Trinity church In
New York engaged In mercantile affairs
and both admitted that the business con
sisted mostly of owning property and re
ceiving rents. Senator Dubois suggested
that If comparisons of power of tho Mor
mon and Methodist .church were to b
made It would be well to summon the
bishop of the Methodlet church to testify.
"If you were a well acquainted with
Methodism a I am. It would not be neces
sary to summon a bishop," retorted Sena
tor Hopkins. "However, I may not he so
well acquainted with Mormonlsm."
Judge Powers continued In th Una of
making It clear that the Mormon churoh
controlled business in Utah to a large de
gree and that It was protected by secrecy
which was hard to get at Senator Over
man remarked that there was no secrecy
In Methodism, and therefor th compart
sons were unnecessary. An adjournment
waa token until 2 o'clock.
